A Widow's Story of Grief with Certified Grief Coach Bethany Spencer

In just 11 short months, Bethany went from having a completely normal life with her husband and children, to burying her husband. How does one learn to live after something like this? How does one pick themselves up after a tragedy like this? In this episode, Bethany and I talk all about her journey from finding out her husband was sick, to 5 years later (current day) - remarried and continuing to honor her late husband every day. We also talk about:-Finding a witness to your grief is monumental-Struggling with your faith and the lack of tools the church often has to help grievers-Grief is a series of ongoing choices-Honoring our past loved ones coexisting with new relationshipsI hope you are encouraged by this week's episode with Bethany.
